<p>Today's quiz. Most test tries aged 30 or more.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Some of these surprised me actually. Likely too that I will have to update this quiz this year.</p> -
<p>Missed 7 and the second 5.</p>
-
<p>I missed the two 5s.</p>
-
<p>Missed 54 for the under 25s.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Missed 7 and the second 5 for the over 30s. I didn't realise the last on the list scored 5 test tries.</p> -
<p>75%, missed 8 and 7</p>
-
<p>missed 12 :0 and both 5's</p>
-
Missed 12 and both 5s

Snap DM
-
<p>Missed the bottom 5. Could've given me a year and I never would've guessed.</p>
-
<p>Referencing our Eden Park record. 6 or more wins but at least 1 loss.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Keven Mealamu with 22 and Richard McCaw with 21 have the most wins on Eden Park but like every other current AB have never lost there.</p> -
10 from 15
-
<p>12 all had low numbers on their backs so they dont really count</p>
-
<p>14/15 after typing in any AB I could think of who played a decent number of tests.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>UHB, I'm sure a former AB captain is missing from your list.</p> -
<p>You mean the guy who captained us the last time we lost at EP?? His was the first name I thought of. I reckon he had 12 wins at EP</p>
-
<p>Hmmm, that was tough, I only got 11/15.</p>

<p>Yep, I wasted a few seconds trying different spellings and nicknames trying to get him.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah, how did he miss out? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>10/15 for me</p> -
<p>Proofreader is now on final warning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>94 captain should be top of the list, amending this as we speak!</p> -
<p>That 94 game was his only loss there, incidentally.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>This was my 2nd quiz for today, most caps for Scotland.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most of these guys had some fairly unflattering winning percentages I might add, one or two got into the 40s.</p> -
2 ...<br><br>
I'm obviously still living in the 80s... -

<p>I tried the Hastings brothers, then realised my brain is past being able to think ... then when I stopped it I realised I would have got hardly any of them. Sorry Scotland rugby.</p> -
My first guess was "Hastings" thinking "There's two ... ". When it didn't work I looked at the dates...<br><br>
The only names that came to mind were contemporaries of them ... or before...[spoiler] Rutherford Laidlaw Irvine Jeffery Sole Milne Stanger Weir ... even McGeechan [/spoiler]<br><br>
And one I got guessing another blokes surname. [Spoiler]I got Scott Murray guessing Euan [/spoiler]<br><br>
I did think of one but couldn't think of his name.[spoiler] Hines [/SPOILER] -
<p>Not many jocks will like me for saying this, but that list is a sad indictment of Scottish Rugby in that all bar one or two would never figure in a list of Scotland's Greatest Players.</p>

<p>Scottish rugby has gone downhill big time unfortunately.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Time for today's quiz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-rugby-all-blacks-most-tries-by-a-midfield-back'>http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-rugby-all-blacks-most-tries-by-a-midfield-back</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Midfield backs with 10 or more tries. Tries these guys may have got playing on the wing or elsewhere are not counted.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Surprised how short this list actually is.</p> -
<p>That quiz may be a bit too easy in hindsight.</p>

<br>
Err yeah -
<p>Took me a while to get 12. Made up for the Scotland one - I gave up when I had just one and couldn't think of that winger's name that would have given me two.</p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's a video of when Scotland was good. Nice soundtrack, plenty of Bill McLaren and I love those elaborate '80s try-scoring celebrations.</p> -

<p> <br> 1:47 to spare!</p> -
<p>I think that was the easiest quiz yet.</p>

<p>Here we go 100 test starts <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/international-rugby-100-or-more-tests-in-the-starting-lineup '>http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/international-rugby-100-or-more-tests-in-the-starting-lineup </a></p>

<p>Subs appearances don't count.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Woody and DC not on this list although I expect this year it will happen.</p> -

Missed the Aussie on 100. -
<p>Well I did abysmal. 10/14. Missed Oz 109, SA 104, Oz 100 and I would never have got the last one.</p>
-
<p>13/14. I missed the Italian.</p>
-
<p>How on earth are you guys getting the final Irish one?</p>
-
<p>Not sure why Nepia, although the late John Drake would castigate him for his scrummaging every time he came to NZ, maybe that's it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interesting how he played for so long, wasn't that good, however nobody coming through in that position over there until Mike Ross came through.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>I can't speak for anyone else but I remembered he was one of the Irish centurions from an earlier quiz. A process of elimination.</p> -

<p>I had to reach deep into my brain to remember who he was once the quiz ended and Drake laying into him was what I came up with him.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>I know a number of guys on this list will have attended more than 1 school however answers taken from All Blacks website.</p> -
<p>21/33 - I spent a long time trying to get the spelling right on 3 of the schools.</p>
