    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...

    Back online after a fleeting visit from the inlaws! Latest quiz. All Blacks Top 5 by category. http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-all-blacks-rugby-top-5-players-by-category

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

    Yes, but I could easily pass for 112.

    @Nepia I thought the top 5 quiz was reasonably easy. It helps that the same name can be across multiple categories.

    @booboo @Smudge When checking info on said AB (from Men in Black and Rugby Museum website) I noted that he is still alive if the info is current. He turned 94 last week. 👏

    Yeah was weighing up on doing a feature story on him, but I've heard mixed reports on his health.

    Half thinking of doing a quiz which contains every All Black ever.

    Is it insanity to do a quiz with 1157 answers?

    Who would have the time and inclination to actually take such a quiz?

    @Rugger-Quizzes Maybe compromise and do it with ABs after 1970.

    For the pre-1960s, most of us are going to be a bit lost after typing in Smith, Brown and Jones...and Nepia, Brownlie, Cooke and Gallagher....
