<p>NH test venue cities. Requires a bit of thinking.</p> -
yep. 14 only<br><br><br>
[spoiler] Nepia I thought the Romania match was an official test. It's in Men in Black as a test that's good enough for me!<br><br>
having said that I couldn't for the life of me think of Bucharest ...<br><br>
I knew of the Berkley match from back in the day but couldn't remember where it was played...somewhere in California <br><br>
I got stuck on Inverleith. For some reason I couldn't get past Inverell if indeed there is such a place<br><br>
Thought I typed in Manchester but apparently not. Forgot a number of England venues from various RWCs. <br><br>
Was 1989 v Canada in Vancouver a test?<br><br>

<p>I stand corrected.</p>

<p>[spoiler] I made the mistake of believing my own suspicions and wiki. I wonder if they were retrospectively awarded test status? [/spoiler]</p> -

Damn it's hard to talk in riddles. I'll just add the spoiler. ..<br><br><br>
Nepia, I don't think so. As mentioned it was in my 1983 revision of MiB. That game was only a couple years prior. Even though the policy back then was tests only for matches against IRB member nations (which generally restricted it to the 7 plus composite British Isles teams). <br><br>
That changed with RWC matches being tests. Hence that match in Vancouver in 1989 that i thought was missed but wasnt which occurred after the advent of RWC. [/SPOILER] -

<p>[spoiler] Seems weird that Romania got test status back then but Argentina and Fiji didn't. IIRC the ABs only played British Columbia in 1989 not Canada? [/spoiler]<br>
</p> -
<p>All Blacks website does list that game as a test.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nice to give you chaps something tricky for a change!</p> -
<p>Another heavily geography based quiz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Present day countries where the All Blacks have played tour games. Haven't put countries in alphabetical order as that would make it too easy.</p>

<p>missed one. I was certain we had played in sri lanka but research shows that although a NZ team did play Sri Lanka there in the first decade of the 20th century, it was the professional league side on their way to UK. Presumably the team wanted a game during their stopover and rugby was the only option. </p>

I missed two, and this is how much of an idiot I am [spoiler] I missed NZ and SA. :idiot2: [/spoiler]<br><br>
Dogmeat - were you thinking of the U23 team that toured in the 50s with a couple of guys by the name of Whineray and Meads?</p></blockquote>

<p>Nepia - spot on. Wonder whatever became of those 2 young tyro's you mentioned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for your spoiler - WTF!</p>

<p>I think one became a TV star selling farm equipment and the other joined the SAS.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>WTF:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler] With SA I think I just forgot about them because I was trying to fill in the surrounding countries, with NZ I just assumed we were excluded ... I should have read the question properly, but I think I'm right to pretend that the internal tours didn't exist.
