<p>43 from memory played some club rugby in Wellington which is why I remember him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suspect he may have played for Norths.</p> -
<p>Today's one inspired by Toby Robson's article in the Dom Post re an outstanding servant for NZ rugby.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe easy this one. Played 50 tests and attended a Catholic High School</p>

<p>Shit, not for me. I don't even know where most of those schools are, nor who the doolans are. Nonetheless I floundered Sacred Heart and Liston.</p>

<p>A former AB player/coach and current AB (not the answer of the quiz) also attended Francis Douglas Memorial.</p> -

<p>No idea where Liston College is or who that player is - I got flummoxed on the Hato Petera one before remembering the player isn't actually Maori.</p>

<p>West Auckland. Player in question was a stalwart of the Suburbs club as well.</p> -
<p>Top All Black producing schools would be a doozie.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Information is not readily available though without trawling through almanacs though I feel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would be nice if someone who had access to the old rugby museum database could run a quick query.....</p> -

<p>AAC, JDV, B Habana?</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Indeed. Habana leading the pack on 18.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Played almost twice as many 3N tests than Cullen though.</p> -

<p>Rugby Museum has a database but it is not summarised so you need to scroll through the list.</p>

<p>Auckland Grammar is still at the top with 48 followed by CBHS with 42.</p> -

<p>Planning to do something along those lines. Watch this space,</p> -
<p>Hat-trick or better against the All Blacks. Very short list this one. Two of the three were done at Eden Park from memory.</p>

<p>That one was easy for me - didn't need any guesses.</p>

<p>You probably either know the answers or don't. Perhaps 2004 is the hardest to remember (or easiest to forget).</p> -
<p>Funny thing is too, I suspect the 3 guys on the list didn't actually score all that many tries in their careers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1981 obviously didn't play too many tests due to Apartheid era boycotts.</p>
