My Latest All Blacks Quiz
-
<p>Tomorrow will be doing the Tom French Cup. Has been awarded for Donkey's years, but the guys on the list are for the most part household names so am going to put it up anyway.</p>

Mid 80s I think it was, we won by 1 point I think and he missed several dropped goal attempts.</p></blockquote>

[spoiler]Lescaboura.[/spoiler] I was a that game in Christchurch if we are talking the same one. Hewie pulled off an intercept that would have been a certain try to the French. Great game. -

Spoilers please Broughie. Please don't give the answers. -
<p>90% - I missed 2007 and 2008.</p>

<p>Tom French Cup winners. A real who's who of Maori rugby here.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Good quiz that one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was really solid from 1960-1977 - only missed two and one guy I'd never heard of.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Terrible in the 50s - fluked one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And terrible from 1996-2010 - should have got most of them, but got hardly any.</p> -
<p>Have been wanting to do a Maori related quiz for ages but have had problems accessing the stats. About the only one I could do, but it is a real who's who of Maori rugby,</p>

43%<br><br>
Some obvious misses.<br><br>
Late 60s to mid 70s was my first guess ... -
<p>One of those "shit that's right, how could I have not got him" quizzes</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A good one, Bogan</p> -
<p>34/46 (really 47 but it wouldn't accept my spelling for a certain winner from the early 90s.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm actually quite disappointed with that as before Malcolm Mullholland wrote his book I'd spent a bit of time researching mine.</p>
<p>It helps that a few players have got about half between them.</p> -
Couldn't manage 1996 [spoiler]as who else could it have been but Cully![/spoiler]
-
<p>I was a bit chuffed with getting 1984. I used to like watching him play</p>

Spoilers dude -
<p>31/46. I only missed 2 from the 1980s to present but the 1950s and 1970s were a struggle.</p>

<p>I think you need this many :knuppel: :knuppel: :knuppel: for missing that first one.</p> -

<p>One or two names you may not have expected to see here, quite a few forwards on the list, but a few backs as well.</p> -
5<br><br>
Got the obvious one. The others w er e guesses. educated guesses but guesses nonetheless -
<p>6/13. I had 5 reasonably quickly but after that it was all guesses.</p>
-
<p>5 also. Very surprised by couple of those names. Missed 3 that have played this century.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like Boo educated guesses based on playing years.</p> -
<p>Hee hee. I got three. I got the obvious recent one, the thug, and then I got one because I was going for his brother, then I got one from the 80s because I was going for one from the 40s/50s. Then I got bored with a minute to go. I might eventually have got 30 because I named a bunch of players in his position in his era.</p>
-
<p>I was really suprised with the 16s and 17s. I got one of those four.</p>
-
<p>Here we go, most capped sets of All Black brothers.</p>

<p>Missed 55 - kicking myself</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You missed the brown brothers</p> -
<p>100% 2:55 left</p>
-
<p>Sheesh, I'm slack, I do have the flu though. 50% - I got the first 2, then the last one - so yep I missed two real easy ones, and I wouldn't have got 64.</p>
-
<p>Argh.. missed the 64, bleedingly obvious now. Don't think would have got the 55.</p>
-
<p>Thought 64 might throw a few people!</p>
-
<p>It took me 17 sec. A reflection on the number of tests played in the modern era.</p>
-
<p>Most points aged 30 or over.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a quick hint, just because some of the totals are not divisible by 5, do not assume these players were goalkickers.</p>

<p>Down with flu, so not at gym this morning, time on my hands, so likely to come up with a few dozen more quiz ideas.</p>

<p>Haven't forgotten too I did promise to do one giant all RWC All Blacks quiz as well.</p> -

<p>Missed the more difficult 40.</p> -
Further to the brothers quiz how about most tests together instead of total combined?
-
<p>Good idea mate, Would be a bit of work to source the data but may give this a go at some point.</p>
