    Regarding my comment below, I am referring to the Waikato LH prop and Auckland no.6, in particular. The player most people will expect to be the Waikato no.1 in that match was actually sitting in the terraces that day.

    @Nepia The only AB game I saw live in 12 years was the Twickenham match that Stu Wilson captained....

    Urrgh. I saw us get beaten by France in 1994 but that had the try from the end of the world. I also saw the 1999 debacle but France were on fire that day.

    The worst live loss I saw was an ABs v Wobs at Carisbrook in the 00s, we just played shit.

    I think the only AB loss I've attended was the 1993 Lions test in Wellington.

    I was close enough to Rory Underwood that I could have leapt from the crowd in Peter Van Zyl fashion and failed to tackle him!

    Ive seen 41 tests live but only 4 defeats. 2 against England 73 and 83.

    World XV in 92 (first game back in NZ - so I saw back to back defeats) and France 94.

    All were shocking in their own way

    44 tests live for me, including some RWC games not involving the ABs.

    Of the AB tests I've only witnessed 1 loss - in my own fuckin' backyard (SA in 2009).

    I did see the French lose on their 1994 tour, and that was against NH at Eden Park.

    So you have a 90% winning record. Impressive.

    FYI I'm unbeaten after 7 ...

    @Bovidae That's a pretty good winning record

    I didn't have that many opportunities to see AB's live until I was in my 30's through a mix of only played about 5 tests at EP in the 70's and another half doz in the 12 winters I spent in Europe. Crazy when compared to todays programme.

    My dubious distinction is that the first AB side I saw only contained one player born after WWII (NMS' uncle) and 3 born before it started

    @dogmeat
    My first AB test was vs the World XV in 1992 and it was 4 years later before I went to my second test. The majority of my AB tests have been post 2000 but I also lived outside of NZ for 4 years in that decade so didn't attend any tests, or be able to watch most of them on TV.

    I keep thinking that I've run out of rugby ideas and I'll just do quiz updates from now on. As soon as I think that an idea pops into my head.

    All Lions tour opponents in NZ since 1971

    Aaarrgh ... missed 3

    Didn't realise you were including proposed opponents from 2017! ! ! My phone doesn't scroll when quizzing!

    So 2 of the misses were upcoming opponents through lack of time.

    So I'm claiming I missed one .... from 1971 ...

    Will be pretty obvious which one i missed i think

    Remember the game against England well. Boy did the English get ambushed up in Edinburgh that day by a Scottish team full of resolve!
