But we weren't asked to name the 87 RWC squad. We were asked to come up with an AB player from the mid 80's with a double-barreled surname.
You mused why that person was more well known than some playing today and Boo pointed out it was novel in the 80's and I added he was a WC winner (plus as was said we are all old bastards)
You can have a crack at the 1987 squad if you want!
Anyone who doesn't get 100% you are officially allowed to stand for Australian Parliament!! (ie hand in your citizenship)
(I'll have a crack later ... )

I got there eventually with 7 secs remaining. The city listed last was the final one I needed. Just as well I got that one as I've been to RWC games there myself.

I was surprised another city from that country wasn't on the list.
Probably the same one as me? Starting with an M?

I got all but his toughest SA opponent within 2 mins. I would never have gotten that player as it wasn't who I thought it would be - well before my time.

There's a Springbok lock who was a major rival as well. Was wondering whether or not to add him as well.
Happy to add more questions to this one if needs be, really want to do this particular topic justice.
-
@Rugger-Quizzes That's who I was referring to.
You could include the number of All Black games.

Amazed I hadn't done this one before. Most tries in all games for the All Blacks.
Most Tries in All Matches for The All Blacks
Name the players with 40 or more tries for the All Blacks. Includes tour games which were not tests.
Cut off was 40 tries, amazing to see 2 forwards on the list.
