My Latest All Blacks Quiz
-
<p>I got 10 for the RWC debutants, including two for the price of one.
I found it easier to remember players from the earlier RWCs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The point scorers by decade and players who have played 50 tests under McCaw was easy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the most tries by decade, I only knew one likely player from the 1950s and luckily it was him. The player from the 1960s took some time to guess.</p> -

<p>50 tests under Richie's captaincy. Probably pretty easy for you guys but I liked the idea of the quiz honouring Richie's henchmen!</p>

<p>Sure PM me with the name and I'll confirm it. Wouldn't surprise me if I skipped a name on the list when I was making up the quiz.</p>

<p>9/11. 40 was a big surprise. I also missed one of the LHS 30s.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A player I thought would be on the list only scored 24 test tries.</p>

<p>A guy I thought would be definite only scored 11 tries, big hint alert [spoiler] It would have been 12 if not for Kaino. [/spoiler]</p> -

<p>He had a pretty poor strike rate when you look at his record. Maybe over rated.</p> -

<p>Maybe, might be a timing thing, might be the style of play his team were playing?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Cory Jane doesn't have a great strike rate but you can't really call him overrated.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I certainly worried more about him busting us open than any other Wallabies back for a long while.</p> -

<p>Here's another recent one I did. Japan rugby top try scorers. </p>

<p>Realise this may not get as many takers as normal but would be remiss of me not to at least post it so those that want to have a go do so.</p> -
One. The top one.

<p>Almost seems a bit unfair in the try scoring stakes. No. 2 on the list, I swear I remember him score 8 tries in a game against Chinese-Taipei, such was the gulf in ability between the two sides.</p>
