Missing Craig Wickes UHB - one of the few I knew! :)<br><br><a class="bbc_url" href="http://stats.allblacks.com/asp/profile.asp?ABID=951">http://stats.allblacks.com/asp/profile.asp?ABID=951</a></p></blockquote>
<br>
Tried both Wickes and Golddmmith.<br><br>
Wickes played Fiji but wasn't a test in those days.<br><br>
Did Goldsmith play tests? -
<p>No. Played a lead-up game or two on the '88 tour to Aus before breaking his leg in one of the games.</p>
-
<p>that was hard, only got 11. Missed a great in '96, and the one in 09 for the right-hand column. As for the left, i only got the really obvious one. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some i was convinced were answers were not. Good quiz mate, that one was tough!</p> -
<p>Thought that quiz would be too tough if I extended it earlier than 1970 but wanted to do a trickier one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1970 as a start date I thought would work as a certain someone had a storming tour of South Africa that year.</p> -

<p>Man that was hard! I only got 11 and I missed a really recent one I should have known and the most famous AB from my old school. I also can't believe I missed 1993.</p>

<p>2009 is your school's most famous All Black? Really?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What a sad school.</p> -

<p>No, 1972. The and was for another person, not explaining more about the 2009 one. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wonder if he is the most famous AB from that sad school? </p> -
<p>Don't think my school has ever had one (although i know of one who fucking deserved it!). Pretty sure my school will never have one in the future either. </p>
-
<p>I did one for the young players, now for the veterans. Incredibly one player appears on both lists. Cut this off at 1970, although many of you probably know of Ned Hughes who back in the day took the field as a 40 year old. Only one back on this list of players who have played a test aged 35 or older.</p>

<p>15 tries or more in test rugby. Have covered some of these names in other quizzes but still a good one to have a crack at.</p>

<p>got 'em yes! and only because one was covered in another quiz. just hammering in names of try scorers of the pro era took care of the vast majority of that one. </p> -
<p>I reckon Haden and Knight are missing from that list. Both 35 in their last tests.</p>

<p>The hardest one for me was 2013 ... I was just going through names guessing.</p>

<p>I didn't realise he was older than 2014. A comeback next year is probably out of the question....</p> -

<p>I was surprised when their names didn't earn a result when I did. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was the same with 2013 so overlooked him completely. </p> -

<p>He's older than Norm Maxwell who played his last test in 2004! :)</p> -
<p>Worked out why I had omitted those two. Thanks for picking it up.</p>

<p>Meh, that's the sort of softness you expect when you mix Northland and Canterbury.</p>
