    I noticed the same thing... some super poor short-term memories out there.

    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 started with the AB centurions but even some of those did not make the 300 game mark. I knew Messam had played 300+.

    :::

    It would be interesting to include first class games for NH clubs as that would enlarge the list.

    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).

    He may have played a few AB trials, North Island vs South Island etc. The NZ Rugby Almanac lists players who have played 250 or more first class games and he doesn't make the cut. Nor does Ian Eliason (220 odd games for Taranaki)

    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'

    2000 or more points in NZ first class rugby.

    I wonder if the tally of the bloke at the top will ever be overhauled.

    Has anyone calculated the total minutes these guys have played? I would guess that the players ranked 1-3 have actually spent less time on the field than the players in 4th and 5th positions.

    @bovidae I'm sure you're right. Unfortunately I don't have access to those stats.

    A quizz for those of us of a certain age .....

    Cast your mind back to 1991. The All Blacks were touring Argentina, and simultaneously Romania and USSR were touring NZ.

    Romania and USSR played a test each against a New Zealand XV, effectively NZ C as the top 30 players were on the All Black tour.

    5 of these players actually went on to play at the world cup later that year, can you name them?

    (One of them for another country)
