@Nepia The only AB game I saw live in 12 years was the Twickenham match that Stu Wilson captained....

Urrgh. I saw us get beaten by France in 1994 but that had the try from the end of the world. I also saw the 1999 debacle but France were on fire that day.

The worst live loss I saw was an ABs v Wobs at Carisbrook in the 00s, we just played shit.

What game in 99?

[Chris B.]

I think the only AB loss I've attended was the 1993 Lions test in Wellington.

I was close enough to Rory Underwood that I could have leapt from the crowd in Peter Van Zyl fashion and failed to tackle him!

Ive seen 41 tests live but only 4 defeats. 2 against England 73 and 83.

World XV in 92 (first game back in NZ - so I saw back to back defeats) and France 94.

All were shocking in their own way

[Bovidae]

44 tests live for me, including some RWC games not involving the ABs.

Of the AB tests I've only witnessed 1 loss - in my own fuckin' backyard (SA in 2009).

I did see the French lose on their 1994 tour, and that was against NH at Eden Park.

So you have a 90% winning record. Impressive.

FYI I'm unbeaten after 7 ...

[Bones]

@booboo Me too!

[dogmeat]

@Bovidae That's a pretty good winning record

I didn't have that many opportunities to see AB's live until I was in my 30's through a mix of only played about 5 tests at EP in the 70's and another half doz in the 12 winters I spent in Europe. Crazy when compared to todays programme.

My dubious distinction is that the first AB side I saw only contained one player born after WWII (NMS' uncle) and 3 born before it started

[Rugger Quizzes]

Only AB tests I've been to are

1983 - Lions v ABs at Athletic Park
1996 Scotland v ABs at Carisbrook
2005? South Africa v ABs at Wellington Regional Stadium
2009 Australia vs ABs at Tokyo
2013 Australia vs ABs at Wellington Regional Stadium
2014 Australia vs ABs at Lang Park

100% winning record.

[Bovidae]

@dogmeat
My first AB test was vs the World XV in 1992 and it was 4 years later before I went to my second test. The majority of my AB tests have been post 2000 but I also lived outside of NZ for 4 years in that decade so didn't attend any tests, or be able to watch most of them on TV.

Aaarrgh ... missed 3

Didn't realise you were including proposed opponents from 2017! ! ! My phone doesn't scroll when quizzing!

So 2 of the misses were upcoming opponents through lack of time.

So I'm claiming I missed one .... from 1971 ...

Will be pretty obvious which one i missed i think

@booboo Yeah - I was late on the planned opponents for 2017, as well. Ended up missing two others - both of which I would have got with another minute.

[booboo]

Had three goes at spelling the 6!! The "great" ...

All that I missed were familiar but was really only no.1 that I am embarrassed about missing

6 was one of the few I got. After a while, I realised I was operating in a different era and having tried Taggart and MacBeth, I gave up!

[Crucial]

I've added a little one in for fun.
