27 was hardest for me coz I spel rongly

I always have that problem with the player at the top of the list. Luckily nicknames worked.

That quiz only took as long as it did to type the names.

As far as nicknames go I always try to include them if I can remember them.

No idea how many people would type 'Fluffy' rather than 'Mccaw' though!

Continuing with a recent theme. Most starts at hooker for an All Black.

3.16 remaining.

Most time lost due to "usual" nickname for 91 was not accepted. Had to type it right out.

Took me 5secs to work out 53 as well.

Put the nickname in, not sure why I omitted it this time.

Good quiz. (SA starting XVs in finals next?)

Missed 4 in 91 and 5 from 99.

1991:
Should have got no.6
Remembered 14 but could think of name (socks down guy)
I thought the lock that pkayed both finals played 8 (got him of course) but didn't get the 8
Not surprised i didn't get 4

1999:
Missed entire front row. Perhaps should have got hooker. Guessed all around him.
Could picture 14 but couldn't think of his name.
The other lock wouldn't have got if you gave me all week.

Probably will do the two SA teams tonight yes.

Rapido

Got all of the 91 team.

The 99 team I missed a lock and both props.

I had forgotten to post the link but I got around to doing the other half of the Haka Leaders Quiz.

This time it is leaders of Ka Mate since 2005

http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/241413/all-black-ka-mate-haka-leaders-since-2005

Shouldn't be too hard.

@Crucial there is one all black who led Ka mate that you have missed

It is probably my question that is wrong.

It says 'Since 2005' when it should say 'since the introduction of Kapa o Pongo'

So I guess someone else led in the 6 games in 2005 before the Dunedin unveiling by Tana?

Considering those teams were made up of a big number of usual haka leaders I'd be interested in who. I have a suspect for a one off.

dK

@Crucial Technically he may not have led the Haka, but Doug Howlett, Munster v AB's 2008. But when did facts get in the way

Latest quiz. Took the field as a replacement for the All Blacks in a RWC Final.

http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-rugby-all-blacks-world-cup-subsititutes

One extreme to the other. 1987 non of the replacements took the field, in 2015 all 8 of them got on.

booboo

Missed a back and a forward from 95.

Was surprised at the back because I can still see the starting player in his position walking dejectedly off at the final whistle. Must have played out of position.

Bovidae

Got them all with 1:36 left. To be honest I would have struggled to remember the third player listed from 1995 if there was no connection to another player. How's that for a spoiler.

Chris B.

@booboo Me too. Using Bovidae's spoiler we must have missed the same back and I suspect we missed the same (loose) forward?

Edit: according to the match report on ab.com Booboo's man didn't take the field - but, he must have, because they also credit his profile with a cap. Did he replace a replacement?
