My Latest All Blacks Quiz
-
<p>Was actually looking at doing some Lions stuff, however tours were more frequent in the day and so many of the records are held by players active before I was even born.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Colin Meads played 11 tests against the 1959,1966 and 1971 Lions. To beat this Richie McCaw would have to play the 2017, 2029 and 2041 series!</p> -

<p>I got all bar 1913 in about 30 seconds, 1907 was my first guess and I have no idea how I knew it - I think I remembered it from when the Rugby Museum used to have a who am I section for old ABs.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I gave up guessing with 2:48 to go and I wouldn't have guessed 1913 with another 20 minutes.</p> -

<p>Damn, so I'm not a genius! </p>

<p>Yep. The quiz is for ABs only so surely he qualifies. Rugby Museum states it is an AB record so good enough for me. :)</p> -
