My Latest All Blacks Quiz

<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> -
<p>Weyhey - cracked the % :)</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. <strong>Got dropped for the Dingo after playing poorly in the first test v Aus in 1984. Was always under pressure for his spot - was a frail little fulla. Went from zero to hero in '81 3rd test v Boks after letting the ball bounce and allowing Mordt to score - but then kicking THAT goal. Anyways - 99% of the country (including teenage booboo) were baying for his spot to be taken by Dingo - but I'd have loved to see him take the record.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Massive deal when Stu Wilson got his record equalling 16th try, off a flanker (Kirkpatrick). Was replayed over and over <strong>v Scotland 1981</strong></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 <strong>third test Eden Park 1982. That droppied from a scrum free kick (halfback taps and feeds the droppy taker - not possible now). Didn't Michael Hawker bang one in the same game from his own side of half way? Roger Gould scored in the first minute for Aussie. I thought we were going to get pumped.</strong></p>
