    <p>I didn't even get to that guessing as I was going through every player from the 90s I could think of - well except that one of course.</p>

    <p>11/12, just missed out on the 50s guy.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The time spans help out a lot, 1992-2001 would be the only All Black to play during that time, no?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Edit; apart from Goldie.</p>

    <p>Same for me.  Nepia's comment above helped for our mystery 1992-2001 player.  No chance with the 1950s AB.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I'm surprised a few more players from the 1998 team weren't on this list.</p>

    <p>Another relatively hard one this one.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>International rugby Players with 40 or more home wins.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/international-rugby-40-or-more-home-wins'>http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/international-rugby-40-or-more-home-wins</a></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Only hint I can give on this one is that other than 3 of the All Blacks on this list, everyone else has more than 100 caps in total.</p>

    <p>One for the larger chaps. 2 or more tries in a test by a front row forward. Have cut this off at WW2.</p>

    <p>That's a poor return for someone who played 111 tests.</p>

    <p>More than 2 hattricks in a career. Includes incidences where players have got 4 or 5 tries.</p>

    <p>That's the first time ever, I have had to look someone up.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Quite an interesting story so thanks for that. Still holds a try scoring record!!!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Big kudos to those that got him</p>

    <p>That same player appeared in the 4 tries or more in a test quiz I did a few months back as well. Scoring 4 tries in that era was some achievement.</p>

    <p>Did he? He shouldn't have.  :)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Never heard of him either, Dogmeat. Actually, that can't be true, because I doubtless would have heard of him when his test try-scoring record fell to Kirkpatrick (and presumably in UHB's quiz).</p>

    <p>I missed one, presumably the same one as anyone else, and I wouldn't have gotten close to it.</p>

    <p>I've cut some of the pre WW2 guys out of a lot of my quizzes but thought given his achievements he should at least appear in this one and the 4 or more tries one.</p>

    <p>Today's effort. 35 or more test wins away from home. Does include neutral venues.</p>
