My Latest All Blacks Quiz

<p>DM if that's at me then... Gallagher? Deans? yea, the names just wouldn't come to mind. And the right answer wouldn't have come to me if you had given me an hour. or a day. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most of the rest were pretty easy i thought. Most of the times they are wingers/fullbacks, so if you don't remember the game you just enter names from the right era until you get it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Neps Mils played wing that game and just ran them in. </p> -
<p>Couldn't for the life of me remember Green or Ellis. Was thrilled that typing goldie netted a result. :good1:</p>
-
<p>Tough one this one. It would be quite the rugby historian who would get this on the first go.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>All players to have captained the All Blacks in a test since 1946.</p>
<p> </p> -
<p>Got every one from after 1980 (missed Loveridge) except Ginge Henderson. Add in the legend names and I did alright. But i am not ashamed to admit there are more than a few names on there i haven't heard of. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And Rodders on 08/09 took me an age to get!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>28/42</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Forgetting Mourie was ordinary on my part</p>
<p> </p>
<p>these have been tremendous fun today</p> -
<p>Got 24/42.. although for some reason I couldn't get Henderson or So'oialo in as I couldn't bloody spell it. Still not sure where I went wrong with Henderson. Although accidentally getting Johnny Smith and Ponty Reid due to incorrect guessing/spelling on my part offset that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pissed off that I missed Hobbs, Mourie & to a lesser extent Whetton. </p> -

<p> </p>
<p>200 points or more in tests, only 11 All Blacks have done it.</p>
<p> </p> -
<p>Amazing how few have actually done it. 4 of the 11 pretty much solely on tries alone.</p>

<p>This list wasn't too hard. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Savea needs another 13 tries. It helps when they are now worth 5 pts!</p> -
<p>I'm sure that J. Savea and B. Barrett will join this list in a year or two.</p>
-
<p>Amazing how things change in a lifetime.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don Clarke's record 207 stood for soooo long. Hewie got close and it was talked about each time he played his last 4 or 5 tests.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Massive deal when Stu Wilson got his record equalling 16th try, off a flanker (Kirkpatrick). Was replayed over and over</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hewie's 26 points vs Aus was generally thought of as a freakish performance, and I think was a world record at the time. Especially poignant as it came against a top team and featured a cracking 45 metre droppie with a leather ball</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh how things change</p> -
<p>23/42</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But will give myself 24 - as for Major Rage it wouldn't accept "Henderson" .... NZ's most successful test captain ... but it was included in the answers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Again like Rage am particularly pissed off I missed Hobbs and Whetton, and add in Fred Allen on the oops of course list<br>
</p>
<p>I thought I had put Laidlaw in but apparently I missed him ...<br>
</p>
