My Latest All Blacks Quiz
-
<p>I've had the 2011 and 1987 AB squad quizzes up for some time now and plenty of people have taken them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Haven't however done one for the 1991,1995,1999,2003 and 2007 squads as would rather forget!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Worth doing though or not?</p> -
<p>Today's effort. All Blacks who have scored all 4 ways in a test.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Shortest quiz I've ever done as only two guys have ever done it.</p> -
<p>It took me 8 seconds to type them both ... it's quite an easy one.</p>

<p>Yeah man, do them.</p> -
<p>Actually the 5th way to score was a potential quiz idea for tonight. 3 All Blacks scored that way, 2 of them did it twice.</p>

<p>Right Nepia, you are on. Watch this space.</p>

<p>[spoiler] Goal from a mark. I'd assume only Francios Steyn could do them under the current laws if it still existed. [/spoiler]</p> -

<p>Ian Clarke, a prop, has the distinction of scoring a goal from the mark for the Baabaas against the ABs.</p> -
<p>UHB, I have a suggestion for a quiz which could be quite difficult. The ABs who scored the last 4-pt try and the first 5-pt try. I doubt anyone would know who scored the last 3-pt try in 1971 and the first 4-pt try in 1972. Neither are well-known ABs.</p>

<p>Today's quiz. 150 or more test points for the All Blacks, no dropped goals.</p>

<p>Some points tallies are multiples of 5 obviously, but not all.</p>

I know the first 4 point try ... no idea how or why ... -
Oops should have used the spoiler thingame. Sorry.<br><br>
Back to UHBs quiz re the 4 ways of scoring I was coninced that a Cantab fullback of the late 60s had done it. But no. World record but no try. -

<p>Would a giant all NZ World Cup reps since 1987 be possible?</p> -
<p>All RWC players is always a possibility as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don't think I'd have too much trouble locating the last 4 point and first 5 point try as I remember when the change was made.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember playing a game just before the change over and drawing it 12-12 (we scored a converted try and two penalties and the opposition had 4 penalties), and as it was for a local trophy thinking I wouldn't have minded the new scoring coming in a bit early</p> -
<p>OK as no one was interested I will take it upon myself to bore you all rigid.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know why I know this but Kit Fawcett (he of the "gonna score more off the field than on" comment in 76) scored the last goal from a mark in world rugby for Waikato against Manawatu about a week before the law change.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know who scored the first 5 point try in tests and remember that the first 4 point try was also scored against the same opposition - but not by the AB's.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Unless my memory is totally wrong though I reckon the AB that scored the first 5 pointer is reasonably well known. Dual code/dual international.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I remember the opponents where we scored the last 4 pointer but who it was - no idea - we ran up a cricket score. Everyone scored. I was at the game but by the end of it I's had about 16 beers and lost track.</p>
