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>15 or more tests for the All Blacks, no tries.</p>

<p> </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>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>

4 of 7 (missed 40 thru 60)<br><br>
Missed three of the paddies but reckon I put in the fly half from the early 80s but it didn't register. -
<p>6/7 for the Over 30 All Blacks test too... missed the tricky one</p>
-
<p>4/7 for the Ireland one. The three I missed I have no idea who they are :/</p>
