    <p>Heres goes latest one. Provincial and Club teams who have defeated the All Blacks. A bit tricky and one thing to remember is that All Black sides of old played the odd match against domestic opposition.</p>

    <p>I should have read your 2nd sentence. Despite that I did pretty well because I can remember back to the tours of the 1970s. Didn't we lose to the Barbarians quite recently?</p>

    <p>Some of the answers don't work e.g. Rhodesia, Border, North Western Counties.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I actually found that the easiest of your quizzes to date, because I knew it could only be Munster and then teams from NZ, Oz, SA, England, Wales, France.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Process of elimination meant I got all bar 9 and even then I had tried Combined Services & Presidents XV.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Unlike Chris I struggled with the more recent ones. Forgot the Poms called their sides Divisions and the French used Cote.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>NSW 2nd XV :o</p>

    <p>I got 33 before time ran out ... I didn't get any of the French teams, English teams, forgot to do the Welsh teams, and got one more NSW when trying to put in NSW B - Rhodesia worked fine for me.</p>

    <p>Easier one today. Playing with fire sometimes doing anything world cup related, but here goes. Name all the opponents the All Blacks have faced since 1987, or will face in 2015 pool play.</p>

    <p>Some interesting things came out of doing that quiz. There's one side we've never faced at a RWC, whereas their neighbours seem to pop up to play us most world cups.</p>

    <p>This would possibly be the easiest one I've done. 100 test All Blacks. Did it some time ago.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Not sure why I bothered given how select this list is and how easy it would be even for the most passing of rugby supporters</p>
    <p> </p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>Next one will be harder I promise.</p>

    <p>Man, it took me the same time to think of two of the 2015 teams as it did for the rest.</p>

    <p>100%, 1.50 for the world cups</p>
    <p>34/50 for the non international defeats</p>

    <p>Very few teams on this list. NZ Provincial or Representative Teams (other than the All Blacks) to have defeated the Springboks</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Going to do a similar quiz for the Wallabies at some point but it will take me a very long time to compile all the info!</p>

    That one was doable even though I only knew 1. Rest were guessable

    <p>Most people have gotten 6/7 in the Springboks quiz.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Only clue I can give to help is that Wilson Whineray played in both the 1956 games.</p>

    <p>Not as many teams have beaten the Boks as you might think.  The hardest team to remember would be one from the 1956 tour. </p>

    I'm not saying I knew them. I'm saying they are guessable. Same with teams that beat the ab's. There's only so many teams that could have done it whereas for the player quizzes there are many more options

    <p>Today's effort. One for the fatties really rather than those flash harry backs.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>All Black tight forwards with 5 or more test tries. Wanted to just do front row but that would make the list pretty short so included the locks as well.</p>
    <p> </p>

    <p>I missed the 4 lowest locks. Just shows how quickly you become yesterdays men.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Mind you could be I have Alzheimer's as was reeling off a number of options from the 70's and 60's...</p>
