[SPOILER]<br>
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>All Blacks website does list that game as a test.</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>

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.
