My Latest All Blacks Quiz

[Smudge]

<p>Got all of them reasonably quickly - would be ideal if there was a minefield version of this, so if you put in a wrong year, you lose. Probably not something Jetpunk does though (I know it's possible on Sporcle).</p>

[MN5]

<p>Got them all but a couple were only through guesswork.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Its a shame for the proud Celts that Argentina are way more likely to bag that elusive AB scalp than they are.</p>

[Nepia]

<p>I didn't get Scotland - and all my guesses were way off, clearly I've blocked that particular tour from my memory banks.</p>

[NZRUGBYQUIZZES]

<p>Thought I'd do a club one to gauge the interest, if this does interest people I have a whole lot of other provincial unions to cover.</p>

Good one. But you're missing one. Rimutaka.

<p>Merged with Upper Hutt to form Upper Hutt Rams. They still have their own junior program (my son plays there) but again that is under the UH Rams umbrella</p>

Not bad for me. Not shocked at any I missed although i could have got a couple.

[booboo]

Like the idea NZRQ.<br><br>
Would be an interesting exercise.<br><br>
I think clubs have changed a bit in Aucland from my day. So I might struggle now.<br><br>
In those days IIRC there were 21 mainland based clubs.

[NZRUGBYQUIZZES]

<p>Definitely planning to do Auckland soonish but would need to do some research first. There have been at least 2 mergers since I last lived in Auckland.</p>

[NZRUGBYQUIZZES]

<p>Missed updating this one after the Tonga match last year. NH test cities</p>

[booboo]

Missed a few.<br><br>
Thought the Scottish one was Inverness.<br><br>
Thought we had played in Vancouver on the way to Wales in 1989. But that may have been v. BC rather than a test.<br><br>
Missed a fairly obvious Italian one.<br><br>
Missed a glaringly obvious French one. <br><br>
Of the other 10 I missed i may have got 2.

[NZRUGBYQUIZZES]

<p>Definitely no test played against Canada in 1989, but BC was pretty much the Canadian team anyway at that time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of the trickier quizzes this one I think.</p>

[NZRUGBYQUIZZES]

<p>I hope I've done this one justice, but this sort of thing is hard to format well using Jetpunk.</p>

<p>Hopefully no errors in it.</p>

[Bovidae]

<p>I got 22/27 for the NH AB test venues.  I missed 2 of the Italian venues, one of which I should have got as my sister and Italian brother-in-law went to that test and I've been through the city ([spoiler]Genova[/spoiler]) a few times, including in April this year.  I did type in the venue for the 1979 test but perhaps this wasn't an official test?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The others I missed were in 3 different countries.  Good quiz.</p>

<p>That was hard. I had to say it over and over and missed one - I separated two words that are one: [spoiler] whakawhiti [/spoiler].</p>

<p>Someone on twitter tried to dispute the answers to the NH cities quiz and it lead to this quiz.</p>

I don't know how to do spoilers, so I'll be cryptic. <br><br>
what about 77 and 79? Against the same country. Although one of them was a presidents XV or some such, I thought the other, probably 79, was an unofficial test?

<p>Well spotted, will update quiz with 79 games. 77 was against a Presidents XV so doesn't count.</p>

<p>My proofreader has yet again been defenestrated.</p>

Wasn't there an unofficial international at the end of the tour to Ireland in 1974? Against what would otherwise be a full international but neither side awarded caps? Had me stuck on 1974 for a while ...

<br>
Yes that one has always been a puzzler especially given the opposition and the era. <br><br>
Up there with why the World XV games were granted test status (unlike BaaBaas games), and why the 1999 trial awarded caps but the 2005 trial did not for head scratchers from days past.
