<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>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> -

<p>What year was this, Dogmeat? The last goal from a mark for the ABs was in 1963.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>You are correct, both were scored against Aust.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>UHB, I can provide you with the answers about the try scorers.</p> -
<p>Bovidae,<br><br>
Fawcett scored his in 1977. I remember reading about it at the time. Bearing in mind the personality of the guy he probably had a pop just because he knew the law was changing.<br><br>
Same with the first 5 pointer. I remember Quinn saying as it was scored something like and that's one for the history books and explaining the first 4 pointer was also scored against Oz.<br><br>
It wasn't Wilson though Milk.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[spoiler] First 5 pointer was by Inga. First 4 pointer was Jean Claude Skrela [/spoiler]<br>

<p>Before my Waikato viewing. I had a quick look at my copy of The Might Of Mooloo. Fawcett's goal from the mark was actually against Wairarapa Bush. Waikato's only points in a 7-3 loss. Nice trivia tidbit though, dogmeat.</p> -
<p>Boo,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I couldn't even remember him. Had to go and look him up at allblacks.com and then I recalled him. That site definitely says he scored the first 4 point try in test rugby but a bit more research shows that the Aussies conceded a 4 point try in their preceding test in Nov 1971.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So obviously when all blacks say first in test rugby they mean by anyone that doesn't reek of garlic and smoke Gitanes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However you are quite right he did score first 4 pointer for a team that really knows how to play rugby</p> -
<p>I think I've worked out who scored our last 3 pointer. Helped by boo fixing the point in time for me. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was at that game too if I'm right. I was spewing because if they'd had 4 point try's we'd have won the series although TBF we weren't even good emough to come second.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think he played in Boo's guys position. Bovidae?</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Nope. The ABs that scored the first 3 pt try, the first and last 4 pt try and first 5 pt try all played in different positions. No more clues. :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'll send the info to UHB and he can make up a quiz. </p> -
<p>Thanks to Bovidae for the info, it will find its way into a quiz in the next week or so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Too pissed to put anything together tonight I'm afraid.</p> -
