Surprised at that. Have grand slams become way more common?
More often than not someone is winning it with a grand slam?

Back of an envelope calculation but they seem to happen around half the time.
Not that surprising if you think Scotland and Italy were likely fairly much guaranteed wins - so to get a GS it meant winning 3 tough games.

I'm meaning the last 15 odd years by that list (coincidentally since expanding to 6 nations) seems to produce a grand slam as often as not.
Over a hundred odd years before that they were quite rare.

I had a go at this. 17/19, so better than most. I would never have gotten the players who played 326 and 306 games.

I did bad at this quizz.
Surprised at how many modern players had played 300 FC games and I missed almost all of them. Instead I was wasting my time thinking of old school NPC players with record caps for their province (like an Alan Dawson etc). Their limits were around the 200 for their province from memory, pretty much none of them played another 100 games for other outfits. -

I missed six in that one - wasted quite a bit of time on the guy Bovidae knew - running through props and hookers.
I don't think I've double counted in Brad Thorn's combined total of league/rugby matches - 452!!! (Includes 30 northern hemisphere matches).

Nor does Ian Eliason (220 odd games for Taranaki)
