My Latest All Blacks Quiz
-
<p>Hi UHB</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Question for you - how close is McCaw to having the longest AB career in terms of time elapsed? A quick google of a couple of likely candidates suggests not far.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure if your data can throw up a quiz on this one.</p> -
<p>Slight digression:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I read that 3 players have won 2 World Cups</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eales and?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Candidates: Os DuRandt, Percy Montgomery?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone know for sure</p> -
6<br><br>
Eales, Crowley, Kearns, Little, Horan, du Randt -

<p> </p>
<p>I looked at the oldest AB - pre- and post-WWI and Pinetree. Both are comparable to McCaw.Actually, I just worked it out and (if my maths are right) both are ahead of Richie...but, he can beat them (in terms of tests and probably in total) if he goes for 150 tests!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, there may be someone with more. </p> -
<p>OK so who will have two medals to their name IF we win this weekend:</p>
<p> </p>
<div>Keven Mealamu<span> </span></div>
<div>Ben Franks<span> </span></div>
<div>Owen Franks<span> </span></div>
<div>Tony Woodcock</div>
<div>Sam Whitelock<span> </span></div>
<div>Jerome Kaino<span> </span></div>
<div>Richie McCaw</div>
<div>Kieran Read</div>
<div>Victor Vito<span> </span></div>
<div>Dan Carter<span> </span></div>
<div>Colin Slade<span> </span></div>
<div>Ma'a Nonu<span> </span></div>
<div>Conrad Smith<span> </span></div>
<div>Sonny Bill Williams<span> </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>So 14 guys. With about 9 of them stepping on the field in both finals.</div> -

<p>Longevity is also a good idea. I'll do something in the next day or two.</p> -
