Noticed he only had about half his matches accounted for and even taking out those at 12 and those as a sub there was a big gap.

Fun facts / Bonus question - In that period we had 26 halfback/1st 5 combos start in only one test/match. One of the halfbacks started in 3 tests, each of those was with a different 1st 5. Can you name the halfback and the 1st 5s he started with?

@Crucial said in AB Quizzes (Wingers + others):
Given how well known the Marshall/Mehrts combo is/was I can only assume that it has been talked up over the years by cantabs or a bloke with a microphone
There were the 90s glory days (which I haven't covered)!
