    Supposed to be offline with in-laws visiting but was saddened by death of Daniel Vickerman so created this quiz. Most test starts for an Aussie lock. http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/australian-rugby-most-starting-tests-as-a-lock

    Was also saddened by Sione Lauaki's passing and reposted the following on facebook and twitter as a tribute. All Blacks born in Tonga. http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-rugby-all-blacks-born-in-tonga

    Missed 3 of the Aussie locks. 53 test, 43 and 40. None of which I'm gobsmacked about. Quite frankly I'd never have got 43 tests.

    I missed 53 and 43 myself. I can vaguely remember the 43 test player.

    Getting excited about the Lions tour which is not that far away. So excited I made this quiz about the 1971 Lions. Starters in the test series. http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/1971-lions-rugby-tour-in-new-zealand Amazing how few players they ended up using over the course of a 4 match series.

    @Rapido Will do. Had added what I believe to be the nickname he had but you are right, best to add a few spelling variations.

    @booboo You old bugger! 😀

    A quick check showed that the capt in tests 1-3 had to leave the field for the last 7 mins of the 1st half with a head gash/injured collarbone in the 3rd test. The ABs were already down a prop at that stage so played with 13 men until after HT. That was the last test for both players.

    @Rapido Just updated the type ins. So many variations about how that surname can be spelled. Think I've got them all!

    Aaaand may I add that 1950 was some way before my time. But you guys should have spent your boyhood reading Men in Black and such like. Got to know your history.

    Now that Rugby has restarted for the year, quiz ideas are popping up left right and centre.

    Most caps by country. Have extended this out well into the tier 2 nations to make it tricky. http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/international-rugby-most-appearances-by-player-for-each-international-team

    Grew up in the same house as me in Dunedin - albeit 50-60 years apart. Unfortunately, he didn't leave any of his rugby skills lying around...

    That was tough, I missed the last most capped back, and the last top try scorer.
