    <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>

    <p>Nice work. Plenty more to come BTW. Would like to do a few more NZ provincial ones, but the stats are a bit harder to source.</p>

    <p>I guess playing in three "away" World Cups probably helps boosts the stats.</p>

    <p>Yes, that was where I got stuck too.  I'm also surprised it wasn't the other Saffa lock.</p>

    <p>I always find it curious that Percy Montgomery never features in these things. He played 102 games, must have lost a fair few of those I guess</p>

    <p>Got them all just - but I totally fluked the final Frenchman. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I wasted a bit of time typing in several variations on the spelling of the Saffa who wasn't there - suspected UHB had misspelled his answer - sorry!  :)</p>

    <p>I usually type in Montgomery's name too for many of these quizzes.  JdV's away test record is obviously not good enough either.</p>

    <p>6/8 for me. I thought of 15 but promptly forgot about him and wouldn't have got 10.</p>

    <p>Ha same. I combined 11 and 15 in my head, so when I thought of 11, 15 stopped existing.</p>

    <p>Actually you are right that was a different player in the 4 or more tries quiz but same era</p>

    <p>Have been busy or bored today depending on your perspective.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Most tries by a hooker in test rugby.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/international-rugby-most-tries-by-a-hooker'>http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/international-rugby-most-tries-by-a-hooker</a></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Some of the names may not immediately come to mind, but the Argentinian on the list played a few games as a prop (Paul Ackford will remember him) and the Romanian played against the ABs in the 2007 world cup.</p>
