My Latest All Blacks Quiz

[Upper Hutt Bogan]

<p>Probably the 1905 one doesn't stick in living memory so will be surprised if anyone got 100% first off.</p>

<p>Are overseas first class matches counted in the 300? If so Spencer would easily be over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And is Caleb Ralph really over 300? Wiki seems to think he's more in the 270 range.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Matches played for overseas teams do not count.</p>
<p>Source for this info is NZ Rugby Almanack which lists him as being over 300. Doesn't surprise as never injured, played for Maoris, All Blacks, NZ Colts, started with BOP at 18 or thereabouts.</p>

I did recall the 1905 one from reading and re - reading Men in Black 20 odd years ago. But couldn't think of it for this. Had Mitchell stuck in my head for some reason.

[Unco]

<p>75% on my first go. Missed the 1905 and two 1987 ones. The 2011 one was the hardest that I managed to get. I must've gone through every RWC back before finally figuring out that he was still a guy who was somehow still around the ABs at the time.</p>

[mariner4life]

<p>got all of them bar the 1905 one. I couldn't name a single player from then off the top of my head. </p>

[Nepia]

Missed Mils and McGregor!

[dogmeat]

That's a shocking admission. Ex wallaby/crusaders coach will be very disappointed. Ever heard of the shield they play for in akl club rugby or the trophy France and ab's compete for?<br><br>
Reality: fucking impressed that's all you missed out on.

<p>All good mate. Wiki didn't include colts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And I'd definitely trust the NZRA over Wiki anyway.</p>

<p>Keep the quizzes coming!</p>

<p>DM if that's at me then... Gallagher? Deans? yea, the names just wouldn't come to mind. And the right answer wouldn't have come to me if you had given me an hour. or a day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most of the rest were pretty easy i thought. Most of the times they are wingers/fullbacks, so if you don't remember the game you just enter names from the right era until you get it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Neps Mils played wing that game and just ran them in. </p>

[Siam]

<p>Anyone else run out of time, see the answers and think "ohh fuck how did I miss him?"</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Couldn't for the life of me remember Green or Ellis. Was thrilled that typing goldie netted a result.  :good1:</p>

[broughie]

<p>Great job.  I sucked because of my lost years to rugby.</p>

[Upper Hutt Bogan]

<p>Tough one this one. It would be quite the rugby historian who would get this on the first go.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>All players to have captained the All Blacks in a test since 1946.</p>

Far too hard to do on an iPad. Piss.

[mikedogz]

<p>25/42. forgot about lochore, didn't get a lot of the older guys with few tests.  I got every captain in my life time except for jock hobbs</p>

[mariner4life]

<p>Got every one from after 1980 (missed Loveridge) except Ginge Henderson. Add in the legend names and I did alright. But i am not ashamed to admit there are more than a few names on there i haven't heard of. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And Rodders on 08/09 took me an age to get!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>28/42</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Forgetting Mourie was ordinary on my part</p>
<p> </p>
<p>these have been tremendous fun today</p>

[MajorRage]

<p>Got 24/42.. although for some reason I couldn't get Henderson or So'oialo in as I couldn't bloody spell it.  Still not sure where I went wrong with Henderson.  Although accidentally getting Johnny Smith and Ponty Reid due to incorrect guessing/spelling on my part offset that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pissed off that I missed Hobbs, Mourie & to a lesser extent Whetton. </p>

<p> </p>
<p>200 points or more in tests, only 11 All Blacks have done it.</p>
<p> </p>

[Rebound]

<p>i scored 9/11 missed out on Cruden  :shock:</p>

[Upper Hutt Bogan]

<p>Amazing how few have actually done it. 4 of the 11 pretty much solely on tries alone.</p>
