    Thought I'd update this one. Referees who have controlled the most All Blacks tests.

    https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-all-blacks-rugby-most-frequent-referees

    Some referees of very recent vintage have now made the 10 test qualification.

    Kinda pleased I didn't do so well on this ... puts referees in perspective.

    8 of 14. Couldn't spell the 2nd Aussie at 12 so I'll take him and I'm calling it 9/14.

    Should have got 1st Aussie at 12.
    Couldn't for the life of me think of the 2nd Welshman
    I got hung up on

    Norling

    ... who it isn't
    One of the Poms I have only vague memories of
    And couldn't for the life of me think of the Frog's name ... repressed memories?

    Small update to the All Blacks Top 5 by category quiz. Poor old Taine Randell finds himself out of the top 5 for tests captained. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-all-blacks-rugby-top-5-players-by-category

    @Rugger-Quizzes something going on with the unanswered quiz. Your 4th point scorer is showing before I push Start Quiz.

    Test in Sydney reminded me to do an update on this quiz. Defeats by city. Sydney by far our unhappiest hunting ground.

    I know the team you both missed, as I did too. When the answer came up I remembered watching NZ play them at the 2014 WC.

    Also did this one today. Australian RWC cities. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/australian-cities-that-have-hosted-a-rugby-world-cup-game

    Was tossing up whether to do grounds as well. Ballymore and Concord Oval are two of my favourites!

    1986 Wallabies winning team on Eden Park.

    https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/1986-australian-wallabies-rugby-starting-xv-at-eden-park

    10/15 for this one. I knew the no.8 but couldn't spell his name correctly.

    I missed, 15, 11, 8, 6 and 3.

    Hyphenated All Blacks quiz.

    https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-rugby-double-barreled-all-blacks

    I suspect given current trends I may have to update this one frequently in future!

    I didn't get the 1932-34 player.

    Just as well the abbreviations worked as answers.

    Edit: why is a player from the 1980s more well known than 3 current players?

    Because there weren't as many back then ... and we're all ageing.

    Because he's a world cup winner

    I still think if you asked the average rugby fan to name the 1987 RWC squad more people would exclude him than remember him. That comment isn't a reflection on his ability, more that he was never a first-choice AB and played so few tests.

    But we weren't asked to name the 87 RWC squad. We were asked to come up with an AB player from the mid 80's with a double-barreled surname.

    You mused why that person was more well known than some playing today and Boo pointed out it was novel in the 80's and I added he was a WC winner (plus as was said we are all old bastards)
