@booboo Have gone off Wikipedia for that Stadium, but if it is wrong I have been pretty generous as to what will be accepted as far as type ins go.

In that case i may have spelled

:::

Stadium Australia

::: wrong

@booboo I had a similar issue with the 99 venue - which I apparently spelled wrong twice and then tried every other conceivable variant

Latest quiz. Have done map quizzes on jetpunk but never a rugby one.

NZ Provincial Unions Map Quiz.

New Zealand Provincial Rugby Map Quiz

Can you name the 26 Unions that compete in the Mitre 10 cup and Heartland Championship?

[Bovidae]

It's easy to remember the 26 provinces.

@Rugger-Quizzes Anyway you can link the map so you need to type in the correct answer as each province is highlighted?

[Rugger Quizzes]

@Bovidae It's definitely possible although I'm not sure how it's done. Will ask those in the know as I'm open to redoing the quiz that way.

[booboo]

Couldn't type quick enough on the cell phone

[dogmeat]

It would still be easy. Should include all provinces ever. I can think of eight that you could add to your list

Are you including existing provinces that have different names?

[dogmeat]

@booboo Including teams that now make up an existing team but used to have a separate identity but not teams like Northland, Waikato, Horowhenua etc who have changed their name but not their boundary

[dogmeat]

Also including composite teams that later reverted to their individual sides but only if they participated in NZRU comps not sides made up as one-offs to face touring sides i.e. not Counties- Thames Valley or King Country-Wanganui

[dogmeat]

@booboo but you have to be very anal and specific to get eight

[booboo]

@dogmeat i can only get 7 including 3 thst changed names (including one that did it twice) and 4 that are now part of a bigger union ...

[dogmeat]

@booboo pm'd you I bet I know the one you didn't get

@booboo pm'd you I bet I know the one you didn't get

I'm guessing the first two combined into the third one?

Fifth one: d'oh

Last one: huh? Really? When was that? Had to be pre NPC (1976?) Did they have a shield challenge or something?

I can only think of 6.
4 that have merged into 2.
And 2 former mergers.

I'm intrigued, pm me too please.

[Bovidae]

@dogmeat Just post them on here with spoliers.

[booboo]

:::

Golden Bay, Nelson, Nelson Bays, Marlborough, Central Vikings, Wairarapa, Bush, Manawhenua

:::

[Bovidae]

@booboo Cheers.

I knew all of those although the name of the first team listed should be:

:::

Golden Bay-Motueka

:::

[Bovidae]

@booboo

:::

Manawatu amalgamated with Horowhenua to form Manawhenua from 1925-32.

Nice to see that quiz sparked a look back at Provincial Rugby history! Have been meaning to do it for ages but couldn't get the formatting of the map right. Finally worked out how to do it so really happy with the result.
