Did a couple of other pre RWC era quizzes, so here goes pointscorers.

New Zealand Rugby All Blacks - Most Points in the Pre RWC era

Name the All Blacks with 60 or more test points up to 1987

Probably the last one for that particular series.

I missed 85-86 mainly because he played in a RWC and I took it you meant they never played after 86
Although I do note you don't count the points he scored later in his career.

Most points for the Springboks.

South Africa Springboks Rugby - Highest Pointscorers

Name the Springboks with 200 or more points in international rugby. Figures correct to the end of the 2019 Rugby World Cup

Was surprised that I hadn't done this one already. Kudos for anyone who remembers the bottom guy on this list.

[Bovidae]

@Rugger-Quizzes Yeah, I missed the last player.

[booboo]

@Rugger-Quizzes yeah last one got me too

Updated the Springboks Centurions Quiz.

No new names on it (Etzebeth probably next in around 2019/20 I reckon)

South Africa Springboks Rugby - 100 or more caps

Name the Springboks with 100 or more international appearances. Stats correct to the end of the 2019 Rugby World Cup

Gee. Got that with 2.40 remaining. I'm impressed with myself.

Blast from the past today.
1985 Canterbury vs Auckland Ranfurly Shield starting teams.

1985 Ranfurly Shield Rugby - Canterbury vs Auckland

Can you name the starting lineups for this iconic game, when Auckland won the Ranfurly Shield with a 28-23 win, starting a record shield tenure

Although I was a neutral that day and still at primary school, that game will always linger in my memory.

I recall O'Gorman was a replacement...

[Rugger Quizzes]

@booboo He was indeed and was a big factor in Canterbury's comeback with the lineout possession he secured.

[booboo]

Ok. I got 18.

Would never ever EVER have got Canterbury 14.

Should have got but didn't Caterbury 1, 3,4, 6, 7, 8 and 13. Really pissed off I didn't get 6 7 8 particularly 7.

Recall Auckland 2 but wouldn't have got him.

Akl 8 I may have got with time.

Should have got Akl 4 (but didn't think far enough back) and 7.

[Chris B.]

I was at this game.

I got all the Cantabs (14 I had to dredge the memory bank for - and in fact recalled the right guy while I was trying to remember Andrew McMaster).

11 Auks - missed 2, 8, 9 and 12. Should definitely have got 9 and possibly 12.

[booboo]

BTW Akl 2 spells his first name correctly! ! !

[Rapido]

29/30.

Missed the Canterbury right winger.

I clicked the give up button with only the 14 remaining and trying to type McMaster in several different ways, assuming it wouldn't accept it coz he'd done a typo again .....

[Bovidae]

I did better than I thought - 28/30. The Auckland team was easy to remember but I missed the Canterbury 1 and 14.

I do remember exactly where I was when I watched the delayed broadcast of the match on TV.

[Nepia]

@Rapido Damn, nice work, I got 26/30. Misspelt the Auckland hookers name, and missed 14, 6, 2, and 1 of the Village of the Damned and only remember who 6 and 2 are.

[Bovidae]

@booboo A tip: I only type in the players surname so never worry about their first name.

@Nepia The Canty No.6 was their captain so I can always picture him handing over the RS. I also went to a RS game at Lancaster Park in 1983, against Hawke's Bay no less!

When I think I've run out of quiz ideas, another one appears! Wanting to do the teams from the 1993 Waikato vs Auckland shield match but struggling to find them on the net anywhere.

Any ideas guys?
