Blast from the past today.
1985 Canterbury vs Auckland Ranfurly Shield starting teams.

1985 Ranfurly Shield Rugby - Canterbury vs Auckland

Can you name the starting lineups for this iconic game, when Auckland won the Ranfurly Shield with a 28-23 win, starting a record shield tenure

Although I was a neutral that day and still at primary school, that game will always linger in my memory.

I recall O'Gorman was a replacement...

[Rugger Quizzes]

@booboo He was indeed and was a big factor in Canterbury's comeback with the lineout possession he secured.

[booboo]

Ok. I got 18.

Would never ever EVER have got Canterbury 14.

Should have got but didn't Caterbury 1, 3,4, 6, 7, 8 and 13. Really pissed off I didn't get 6 7 8 particularly 7.

Recall Auckland 2 but wouldn't have got him.

Akl 8 I may have got with time.

Should have got Akl 4 (but didn't think far enough back) and 7.

[Chris B.]

I was at this game.

I got all the Cantabs (14 I had to dredge the memory bank for - and in fact recalled the right guy while I was trying to remember Andrew McMaster).

11 Auks - missed 2, 8, 9 and 12. Should definitely have got 9 and possibly 12.

[booboo]

BTW Akl 2 spells his first name correctly! ! !

[Rapido]

29/30.

Missed the Canterbury right winger.

I clicked the give up button with only the 14 remaining and trying to type McMaster in several different ways, assuming it wouldn't accept it coz he'd done a typo again .....

[Bovidae]

I did better than I thought - 28/30. The Auckland team was easy to remember but I missed the Canterbury 1 and 14.

I do remember exactly where I was when I watched the delayed broadcast of the match on TV.

[Nepia]

@Rapido Damn, nice work, I got 26/30. Misspelt the Auckland hookers name, and missed 14, 6, 2, and 1 of the Village of the Damned and only remember who 6 and 2 are.

[Bovidae]

@booboo A tip: I only type in the players surname so never worry about their first name.

@Nepia The Canty No.6 was their captain so I can always picture him handing over the RS. I also went to a RS game at Lancaster Park in 1983, against Hawke's Bay no less!

When I think I've run out of quiz ideas, another one appears! Wanting to do the teams from the 1993 Waikato vs Auckland shield match but struggling to find them on the net anywhere.

Any ideas guys?

Brilliant! PM them and the quiz will be done!

Much appreciated.

@Nepia Hey - No. 1 was an All Black. He had an exceptional record of coming from the bench in every test he played in and scoring a try in every test he played in.

He also lost every test he played in!

Ill-fated Stu Wilson as captain tour!

Damn, I loosely know the name, but that's about it. I'm glad I was more interested in playing that supporting in those days, that tour would have been frustrating as fudge for supporters.

Many thanks to @Bovidae for help with sourcing the player names.

1993 Ranfurly Shield - Waikato vs Auckland starting XVs

1993 Ranfurly Shield Rugby - Waikato vs Auckland

Can you name the starting lineups when Waikato ended Auckland's record Ranfurly Shield reign?

[Bovidae]

@Rugger-Quizzes

OK, so it worked.

There will be a few tricky answers in both teams.

@Bovidae my point about his first name is that he used the correct number of i's. I applaud his Scottish heritage. Too many of English heritage scrimp on the correct number of vowels in the spelling.

FYI I dont usually guess with the first name. Unless something like "Jonah" is going to get recognised.

Was perturbed that no matter how many timeszl I typed "Fitzy" or "Fitzpatrick" it wasn't accepted.

[Nepia]

26/30 for the Auk v Waikato

In missed 6 for Auckland, 14, 4, 1 for Waikato.

[Bones]

@Nepia so you only got 5/30. Nice trick.
