Seems cruel that I posted this on www.greenandgoldrugby.com but I'm sure they won't mind!

Fuck fuck fuck ... could see 2 and 7 just could think of their names ... especially 7 (even though he was in 7 but was really playing 6) ... definitely have got him.

The second lock and openside (even though he was in 6 ... ) I should have got them.

Whilst i remember the names of 3 and 15 (esp 15) I wouldn't have got them.

Three forwards and the entire backline...

Thought I'd update this one. Referees who have controlled the most All Blacks tests.

Some referees of very recent vintage have now made the 10 test qualification.

Kinda pleased I didn't do so well on this ... puts referees in perspective.

8 of 14. Couldn't spell the 2nd Aussie at 12 so I'll take him and I'm calling it 9/14.

Should have got 1st Aussie at 12.
Couldn't for the life of me think of the 2nd Welshman
I got hung up on

... who it isn't
One of the Poms I have only vague memories of
And couldn't for the life of me think of the Frog's name ... repressed memories?

Small update to the All Blacks Top 5 by category quiz. Poor old Taine Randell finds himself out of the top 5 for tests captained. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/new-zealand-all-blacks-rugby-top-5-players-by-category

@Rugger-Quizzes something going on with the unanswered quiz. Your 4th point scorer is showing before I push Start Quiz.

All fixed! Thanks for the heads up

Test in Sydney reminded me to do an update on this quiz. Defeats by city. Sydney by far our unhappiest hunting ground.

@dogmeat
@booboo

I know the team you both missed, as I did too. When the answer came up I remembered watching NZ play them at the 2014 WC.

Also did this one today. Australian RWC cities. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/83115/australian-cities-that-have-hosted-a-rugby-world-cup-game

Was tossing up whether to do grounds as well. Ballymore and Concord Oval are two of my favourites!

10/15 for this one. I knew the no.8 but couldn't spell his name correctly.

I missed, 15, 11, 8, 6 and 3.

Hyphenated All Blacks quiz.

I suspect given current trends I may have to update this one frequently in future!

Me too

[Bovidae]

I didn't get the 1932-34 player.

Just as well the abbreviations worked as answers.

Edit: why is a player from the 1980s more well known than 3 current players?

Because there weren't as many back then ... and we're all ageing.

Because he's a world cup winner

I still think if you asked the average rugby fan to name the 1987 RWC squad more people would exclude him than remember him. That comment isn't a reflection on his ability, more that he was never a first-choice AB and played so few tests.
