Surprised at that. Have grand slams become way more common?
More often than not someone is winning it with a grand slam?
-
Back of an envelope calculation but they seem to happen around half the time.
Not that surprising if you think Scotland and Italy were likely fairly much guaranteed wins - so to get a GS it meant winning 3 tough games.

I'm meaning the last 15 odd years by that list (coincidentally since expanding to 6 nations) seems to produce a grand slam as often as not.
Over a hundred odd years before that they were quite rare.

300 or more first class games in NZ rugby.
I had a go at this. 17/19, so better than most. I would never have gotten the players who played 326 and 306 games.

I did bad at this quizz.
Surprised at how many modern players had played 300 FC games and I missed almost all of them. Instead I was wasting my time thinking of old school NPC players with record caps for their province (like an Alan Dawson etc). Their limits were around the 200 for their province from memory, pretty much none of them played another 100 games for other outfits. -

I missed six in that one - wasted quite a bit of time on the guy Bovidae knew - running through props and hookers.
I don't think I've double counted in Brad Thorn's combined total of league/rugby matches - 452!!! (Includes 30 northern hemisphere matches).

Nor does Ian Eliason (220 odd games for Taranaki)

Fucken shocked that an Italian other than Parisse ( 100 test losses ) not only got nominated but won the POTT award.

The mighty Scots ensured he brought up the century in style. God Bless.

Feel a bit sorry for Parisse given his sterling efforts over the years.
Might just give the Italian Rugby Centurions quiz an update given his latest 'achievement'
Italian Rugby Centurions
Name the players with 100 or more appearances for the Italian National Rugby Side. Correct to the end of the 2019 Rugby World Cup

2000 or more points in NZ first class rugby.
2000 or more points in New Zealand First Class Rugby
Can you name the New Zealand rugby players who scored 2000 or more points during their careers? I have given you the name of the province they mostly played for.
I wonder if the tally of the bloke at the top will ever be overhauled.
