2. Chris Horsman
5. Pascal Ondarts though Olivier Sourgens also made his debut v NZ aged 35 in '07.
8. Dan Carter?
9. Simon Poidevin. Thats a good one. I cant really remember him.

Nice work Guns but it's not Dan Carter. The rest are correct

Is the NZ player a 7s player? In 15 man rugby over 30 points is impossible if you arent a 10 isnt it?

He is a 15 a side player. Probably not one who would instantly come to mind either.

Colin Slade?

Oh is it the OH for Japan. Arlidge?

nope. he's now a coach of a nz club

sorry province

1. Phil Macpherson?

I am appalled by how crap I am at this.

nope. in honesty number 1 is a bit of a trick question...

Tony Brown

GG great shout!!!

only two to get. number 1 and number 6

Carlo Checchinato

again, great shout

Great google.

ha thats how i find the questions. now can you work out what the trick is in q1?

Daniel Carter has only once scored over 30 points. Do you know against who?

he got 27 once v Wales and 29 v Canada. Better teams than Tony Brown I reckon.

I would guess Scotland

Nobody is comparing the two...

Scotland didnt play NZ in 1925?

No the Lions. Embarassing.

ha ha. O yes I remember now. not a great series...

Give us a clue re number 1. There was no test match between NZ and Sco that year so not sure what the answer is.

That is the answer. Scotland refused to pay NZ that year over a dispute from the previous tour and gave up probably their best chance of beating the ABs.

Is there a quiz this Friday?
